A pizza restaurant near the Pentagon saw an unusual spike in orders about an hour after the US launched its attack on Venezuela. Orders for Pizzato Pizza in Arlington, Virginia, “suddenly surged in traffic” at around 2 am local time on January 2, according to the Pentagon Pizza Report, an online account that tracks activity at a pizza spot it claims is popular with federal agents. The timing corresponded to 3 am in Caracas, an hour after US airstrikes briefly struck the Venezuelan capital.
History often leaves traces of itself in places no one expects. For the United States Department of Defense (DOD), those traces sometimes appear not in documents nor speeches, but in empty pizza boxes stacked near the department’s headquarters.
Over the decades, people have noticed a curious trend in the pizza joints that surround the Pentagon: military crises involving the DOD almost always result in sudden spikes of late-night pizza deliveries. Pizzerias located near government sites may very well find themselves unexpectedly burdened with pizza orders every time a big event goes down.
So, is there any real credence to this conspiracy and claim? Or is it just a carefully crafted con? Click on to find out.
