## What is PIZZA INDEX?

The Pizza Index monitors real-time restaurant activity patterns near key locations using publicly available
data, based on the Cold War-era methodology.

Historical Context:
  During the Cold War, analysts observed correlations between late-night food deliveries to government facilities and
  significant operational activity. This app applies that monitoring approach to track modern activity patterns.

  Features:
    • Real-Time Monitoring - Track restaurant popularity at strategic locations
    • 24-Hour Activity Charts - Compare current patterns to historical baselines
    • Activity Level System - DEFCON-style visualization of pattern deviations
    • Spike Detection - Statistical analysis of HIGH/MODERATE/LOW anomalies
    • Map - See exactly where the activity spike is
    • Pattern Alerts - Notifications when activity deviates significantly
    • Widget Support - Home screen and lock screen widgets for at-a-glance DEFCON monitoring

  Data Methodology:
  Monitors publicly available restaurant popularity data and identifies statistical deviations from baseline behavior
  patterns.

  For informational and observational purposes only. Data shows correlations, not predictions. Not intended for
  decision-making or actionable intelligence.

### 3/5 — Lock and Home Screen tracker isn’t working for me

*2026-03-02*

The trackers are just blank when I add the widgets but otherwise good app

**Developer response:** It’s fixed in the latest update. Could you give it a try? If you still have issues, please contact us at https://sa-moo-rai.com/contact

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-01-28*

If the pepperoni is flying at 2 AM in Arlington, I know something is going down. This app is beautifully designed, the custom icons are a great touch, and it’s honestly more reliable than my news feed. 10/10 for any OSINT fan

### 3/5 — Widget

*2026-01-16*

I wish they had a lock screen/Home Screen widget option would be nice

**Developer response:** Hi! That’s a great idea. We’ve included it in the new update. Try updating the app !

### 2/5 — Needs better QA

*2026-01-11*

Buggy or unclear.

Update button doesn't do anything.
Popularity and vs Usual value seem to be swapped on the restaurant screen, unless you mean "of usual". Baseline patterns are hard to rid, what is it?
What's the point of changing the app icon manually based on defcon level? Shouldn't this change automatically?
What does pizza index value mean? What's the possible range.

Either provide a self-explanatory interface or a better documentation.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the feedback. A few clarifications below.

• Update button
The Update button forces a manual reload to fetch fresh data. It is useful when the automatic refresh fails due to temporary network issues. It does not change state unless new data is available.
 
• Popularity vs “Usual”
They are not swapped.
On the restaurant screen:
	•	Left: Popularity, expressed as a percentage (e.g. POPULARITY: 67%)
	•	Right: Activity relative to the normal baseline, expressed as “X% of usual” (e.g. 273% of usual)

• Baseline patterns
Baseline patterns represent the restaurant’s normal behavior calculated as a rolling median over the last 30 days. 

• Pizza Index
The Pizza Index is a normalized score derived from current activity versus its baseline.
	•	Range: 0-100
	•	Based on the median of the last 30 days
Higher values indicate unusually high activity compared to normal.

• App icons
iOS does not allow apps to change their icon automatically. Icon changes must be user-initiated. The manual icon exists as an optional visual indicator for users who want the DEFCON level reflected on their home screen.

### 2/5 — Pay Wall

*2026-01-06*

You can use the app without it but it’s basically useless. Also, $5 a week or $250 a year is stupendous lol.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The core features are fully usable without a subscription. The paid plan is optional and priced at $25 per year, not $250. It unlocks advanced tools for users who want them, but the free version remains fully functional.

### 5/5 — brilliant fusion

*2025-10-19*

the pizza index is brilliant fusion of history and modern data science. it revives a cold war intelligence tactic to monitor today’s world through restaurant activities turning pizza runs into predictive signals
