Got to disagree with these posts.  I like some of their pizzas a lot, 
and I've always had good service at the Tysons one.  Some of the flavors are 
truly stupid, don't work, couldn't possibly work and taste bad.  But 
others are unusual, fun, clever, and (surprise) taste good.  Salads 
aren't bad either.  Their whole wheat (or whatever) crusts are too sweet 
for my taste.  Now, this isn't your neighborhood southern Italian-style 
pizza, but it's a good break from the standard.

Oh, and on the subject of the subject line, I think American Cafe is now 
smoke free.
