摘要：关注餐馆和食品趋势的网站Takeout今年早些时候发现，尽管有关五角大楼动向的披萨理论远非科学，但这也“并非互联网编造出来的东西”。

据玉渊谭天报道，中国纪念抗战胜利80周年大会举行的同时，五角大楼附近的达美乐披萨店和棒约翰披萨店流量激增，分别是平时的4倍和3倍有余。

While China staged a grand ceremony in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, a curious phenomenon unfolded across the Pacific: Pizza shops near the Pentagon reported an unusual surge in business.

巧合的是，两家披萨店流量激增的时间，正好是中国阅兵活动开始的时间。美国媒体通常以五角大楼附近披萨店客流量情况来观察五角大楼内工作人员的加班情况。

Local data show that traffic at a Domino's near the Pentagon jumped to four times its usual level, while a nearby Papa John's saw orders triple — precisely as China's military parade was getting underway.

另据新华网此前报道，关注餐馆和食品趋势的网站Takeout今年早些时候发现，尽管有关五角大楼动向的披萨理论远非科学，但这也“并非互联网编造出来的东西”。

2024年8月，美国纽约州前州议员本·盖勒也在社交媒体平台发布消息称：华盛顿“披萨晴雨表”出现异常，预示或将有战事发生。

“披萨晴雨表”是指美国重要政府机构周边披萨店的繁忙程度。美国政府部门工作人员加班时往往会点披萨外卖，披萨店的繁忙程度因而可以反映政府部门的加班情况。

The episode echoes what has long been dubbed the "Pentagon Pizza Index", an informal observation that sudden spikes in pizza orders around US government facilities, especially the Pentagon, may foreshadow imminent military action.

数据显示，以色列2024年对伊朗发起导弹袭击时，五角大楼附近披萨店异常忙碌；1991年海湾战争时，美军执行“沙漠风暴”行动前，来自五角大楼的披萨订单量激增；1989年12月美国入侵巴拿马前，五角大楼周边披萨店夜间订单量也从平时的30-35份激增到100多份。

Past incidents reinforce the pattern: in 2024, when Israel struck Iran, Pentagon-area pizzerias saw demand soar; in 1991, on the eve of Operation Desert Storm, orders jumped from only a handful to more than 120 within 48 hours of the campaign; and in December 1989, just before the US invasion of Panama, dubbed "Operation Just Cause", nightly orders tripled from an average of 30–35 pizzas to over 100.
