Gay bar index
Foot traffic at a Washington DC gay bar and pizza deliveries from restaurants near the Pentagon are being used to predict military activity in the Middle East, in a security failure for the US Department of Defence.
Pentagon Pizza Report (@PenPizzaReport) has been using publicly ready activity data from Washington DC pizza stores and a gay bar in the vicinity of the Pentagon to predict nature events.
Such as Israel’s recent strikes on Iran, that has killed over two hundred people so far.
The Pentagon Pizza Report account was created in August of last year.
The account posts “open-source tracking of pizza spot activity around the Pentagon (and other places)”.
With “frequent-ish updates on where the lines are long.”
According to Pentagon Pizza Report, whenever there is a surge of pizza sales and foot traffic at Freddie’s Beach Block is down, that means Pentagon employees are responding to world events that are keeping them active into the night.
How does Freddie’s Beach Bar fit in?
On Thursday night, the account reported that nearly every pizza place in Washington DC’s Crystal Capital area was experiencing a “HUGE surge in activity.”

US complicity in Israel’s strike on Iran exposed by high pizza deliveries and a quiet gay block near Pentagon
This quirky yet historically consistent indicator has long been associated with looming military crises, and it once again signaled that something major was underway.
Adding an intriguing social dimension to this pattern, observers noted an unusual drop in patronage at Freddie’s Beach Bar, the closest male lover bar to the Pentagon, which experienced an abnormally quiet night on June 13.
While pizza joints buzzed with activity, the bar’s silence suggested that Pentagon staff and intelligence operatives were working behind into the night, exiting little time for social outings. This inverse relationship—spikes in pizza orders coupled with diminished nightlife—has turn into part of the evolving Pentagon Pizza narrative, ref
Pizza Index
The Pizza Index, also known as the Pentagon Pizza Meter, refers to sudden, observable surges in takeout food orders — not necessarily pizza — from offices such as the Pentagon, the CIA, or the White Residence, right before major international events or crises are announced to the general.
Government officials order nourishment from nearby restaurants when they stay late at the office to monitor developing situations such as the possibility of war or coup, thereby signaling that they are expecting something big to come about even before the common is made aware. This index can be monitored through open resources such as Google Maps, which show when a business location is abnormally occupied.
Conversely, on-site locations around government buildings (such as bars or night clubs, including Freddie's Beach Block & Restaurant, a lgbtq+ bar located near the Pentagon) that show less activity than usual also give an indication of the pizza index, as government employees that would normally go to these locations after work are instead sequestered in the office.
The index can be used as a form of open-source intelligence (OSINT) to get an idea of what a government, and particular
