"There is a dashboard for pizza places around the Pentagon. The Pentagon Pizza Index (PizzINT) is a real-time dashboard that monitors pizza shop popularity around the Pentagon area in Arlington, Virginia. Based on the famous "Pentagon Pizza Theory," this project tracks potential correlations between late-night pizza orders and military activity. Originally a Cold War-era observation that pizza deliveries to government buildings might indicate crisis activity, the theory gained internet fame during recent geopolitical events. Our dashboard brings this concept into the digital age using publicly available data."
"I'm torn because this is centered around crypto and memecoins, but a good dashboard built for the right audience and purpose is a good dashboard."
The Pentagon Pizza Index (PizzINT) monitors pizza shop popularity around the Pentagon area in Arlington, Virginia in real time. The index applies the Pentagon Pizza Theory to search for correlations between late-night pizza orders and potential military activity. The underlying theory originated as a Cold War-era observation that increased pizza deliveries to government buildings might signal crisis conditions and later gained internet attention during recent geopolitical events. PizzINT aggregates publicly available data to modernize that observation into a digital dashboard. The project intersects with crypto and memecoins, while still aiming to provide a useful, audience-focused dashboard tool.
