This pizza joint has been known for a long time among those who follow geopolitics. It's one of many signals.

Also, these signals also help defuse situations because they are effective signals among adversaries that the sides are getting serious.

How do you plan on cracking down on publicly-available data?

"No ordering pizza"? Staff a franchise with cleared employees in the Pentagon?

I read that the Pentagon does have its own in-house franchises explicitly for that reason. I have to assume the signaling in this case is intentional.

I did not have Pentagon intentionally clogs up nearby Papa John's Pizzeria to signal to the Middle East that it is dead serious on my 2024 Bingo card.

No, Papa John's is signaling you're wanting to seem super serious, but everyone in the know knows it's just for show.

When it's Dominos then you know you're fucked.

That's not answering my question! You're changing the scenario from public data to private data.

“Stop contributing to the public data” is a perfectly reasonable way of avoiding it.

I mean, they do kinda do that. Currently there seems to be an Au Bon Pain, a Taco Bell, a CVS Pharmacy, Starbucks, etc.

Not sure if the employees are cleared, but they are at least screened (and one would assume... monitored?)

However, if the hours on Google Maps can be believed, it seems like all of the Pentagon shops close at 5PM eastern. So if you want food after 5PM, perhaps you're still ordering delivery?
