As the Justice Department released its largest trove of Epstein documents to date, attention shifted from the names inside to the unsettling discovery of two words, repeated almost 2,000 times, that may have been used as a secret code to conceal horrific crimes.
When the U.S. Department of Justice released over three million pages of Epstein-related documents on January 30, it was expected to reveal damning associations, grim testimonies, and disturbing details.
But buried deep within the records, one chilling pattern raised fresh alarms about potential coded language used to mask heinous crimes.
Cheese pizza and child porn
In an interview with The Telegraph, a mother named India, who founded a parent-led group that tracks suspicious online activity related to children, revealed that pizza and cheese emojis are regularly used by predators to communicate on social media sites, and to trade images of children – often stolen from public family accounts.
“There are pictures of little boys aged five or six on the beach in their swimming trunks and chances are that picture was taken by their parents on their holiday. Somehow that picture has gotten into their hands,” India told the outlet.
She added, “The images being circulated aren’t always what you think. They’re everyday photos of kids taken from parents’ profiles. But in the wrong hands, they become part of a disturbing underground network.”
And, in some dark corners of the internet, these two words have been used as “CP” – an abbreviation for “child pornography,” India explained.
‘No one else can understand’
On the surface, many mentions of “pizza” in the Epstein files appear to be innocent – casual references to food, dinner plans, or party menus.
While nothing explicit can be proven from a single keyword alone, its staggering frequency in Epstein’s correspondence is difficult to ignore.
According to search results of the Epstein Library through the DOJ, “pizza” appeared 859 times, while “cheese” shows up 1,138 times. And while many of these uses likely refer to actual food, some of the references are bizarre and contextually suspicious.
In one message, dated July 16, 2009, Epstein writes: “there are miilions of babies, very little good vegatble [sic] cream cheese.”
Another, written to Epstein from a redacted user on April 6, 2018, says: “This is better than a Chinese cookie…let’s go for pizza and grape soda again. No one else can understand.”
Code or coincidence?
Not every use of the word “pizza” in the Epstein files is suspicious. The document dump is massive, and many references are benign. Yet the volume and strange phrasing in certain entries – paired with what’s known about pedophile code systems – point to a troubling possibility.
The use of “pizza,” “cheese,” and phrases like “grape soda” in strange contexts mirrors language previously flagged by child safety advocates. And while these terms aren’t proof of criminal conduct, their repeated appearance in Epstein’s communications has led many to ask whether they were used to mask discussions of abuse.
Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex offender who solicited prostitution from a minor. His death in 2019 did not end the investigations. Whether “pizza” was just pizza, or something far more sinister, remains under investigation.
