A week ago, V captivated fans in мєχι¢σ City not only with his mesmerizing performances and vocals, but also with his understanding of and respect for the local culture. During the first concert night, a moment of the idol happily buying and eating a banderilla at the food court inside the venue quickly spread across social media.

In fact, The Mexican daily newspaper Excelsior dubbed this the 'V-effect,' reporting, "After V ate a banderilla at the first concert, everyone wants one. Long lines of passionate ARMYs have formed just to buy a banderilla, sparking explosive popularity".

And this time, after arriving in Stanford, V seems to have sparked yet another food craze!

Specifically, during the concert’s ending ment, V suddenly excitedly shared: “The pizza here is so good!!! I think Stanford got the best pizza!” His comment immediately made the entire stadium burst into laughter and cheers. However, what caught the fandom’s attention the most was the fact that V didn’t just say the pizza there was “good” — he outright claimed that Stanford had “the best pizza.”

What makes this even more interesting is that Stanford is not exactly famous for a specific iconic pizza style like New York City or Chicago. Because of that, V’s statement left fans extremely curious about what kind of pizza managed to win him over so much. Some fans speculated that he might have been talking about Treehouse on the Stanford University campus, especially because he also said: “I heard Stanford has lot of famous universities. Do any of you guys go to Stanford? Can I come too? Next time we are in Stanford I will make sure to have good pizza and to see you beautiful, cool, amazing Army!”

Meanwhile, many local fans believe V’s taste might lean more toward the Bay Area’s signature artisan pizza styles instead. Although Stanford does not have a nationally iconic “signature pizza,” the surrounding area is actually quite well known for modern California-style, Neapolitan-style, and Roman-style pizzas.

If that is the case, there are several famous pizza spots that could fit the description. For example, Pizzeria Delfina is known for its Neapolitan pizza blended with California-style influences and extremely “fresh California” toppings. It is practically the most famous pizza spot around Palo Alto and Stanford. State of Mind Public House & Pizzeria could also be a possibility, as the artisan pizza shop is beloved by locals for its thin crust and creative flavors like hot honey and jalapeño — soмєтнing that also seems like it could match V’s taste.

Other possible names include Delarosa, which is famous for its crispy Roman-style pizza, or Howie's Artisan Pizza, a spot that is extremely popular among Stanford students.

The search for the pizza V mentioned became even more chaotic after one fan revealed on social media: “I saw about 15 pizza boxes heading backstage in a cart. They were blue on top and wнιтe on the bottom. Help me find the spot!!”

The detail about the pizza boxes being “blue on top and wнιтe on the bottom” instantly sent the fandom into detective mode. Fans began comparing the packaging of numerous pizza places around Stanford, but as of now, nobody has been able to determine exactly where BTS or V ordered the “best pizza” from. After мєχι¢σ’s banderilla craze now comes Stanford pizza — the “V Effect” is spreading from мєχι¢σ all the way to Stanford, and it will likely spread even further.

Fans are now excitedly discussing the viral video of V from today in the comments section:

- Kim Taehyung is out here confusing everyone by being cute and insanely attractive at the same time. My foo∂ιє lover man

- Tae really said pizza and called it a day. And If Tae goes to university, nobody stu∂ιєs and everyone signs up for his clαѕѕes; even the professors sit and watch him.
