Can you cite your sources? My understanding is that based on past data there is strong correlation between special military operations, people working late in pentagon, and takeout places in the vicinity having a spike of orders.
Not to mention, there's something like 25,000 people working at the Pentagon.
There are so many potential late-night work things happening that would need food, the idea that pizza orders can be used to identify high-profile military missions specifically doesn't make a lot of sense...

* People working late at the Pentagon don't order pizza to the building
* The Pentagon has pizza options, including late-night ones
* The Pentagon is in fact chock-full of restaurants
* There is in reality no such thing as real telemetry about pizza orders near the Pentagon.
I have the opinion that this pizza thing is mostly just a story people tell because it makes them feel clever. Not high-horsing it; I have those too.
