APizza
Perhaps one of the biggest mysteries of all the new restaurants being built in Logan is APizza. It is not a national chain but has aspirations of becoming one. The first location opened in San Francisco in 2019 and, according to comments made to Eater San Francisco, the creators want to make APizza “the In-N-Out of pizza.” The coronavirus pandemic slowed the initial goals of growth, but new locations are starting to be built. It’s unknown at this point how many locations are currently open beyond the original on Fremont Street in San Francisco. The pizza restaurant concept boasts of affordable prices while using organic ingredients. The Logan location is scheduled to open sometime this summer.
Café Zupas
A new Cafe Zupas is coming to Logan and is currently under construction at the newly reconfigured intersection of 700 North Main.

The closest Cafe Zupas location to Logan is in Ogden. The restaurant is scheduled to open this spring.
Zeppes
According to the Logan Community Development office, Zeppes may be returning to Logan. A drive-thru location is being proposed at 811 North Main and will feature indoor, outdoor and roof-top dining.
