Pizzazz is the fifth album by American singer Patrice Rushen, released in 1979 on Elektra Records.

The Boston Globe called Pizzazz a "really a good disco album, with a few non-disco numbers to break the monotony... The non-disco cuts are slower funk tunes which often recall Earth, Wind and Fire." Steven Reddicliffe of the Miami Herald called the album "jolly, sweet, optimistic ... and a very happy dance record at that."

Alex Henderson of AllMusic wrote, "Rushen's profile in the R&B world continued to increase with Pizzazz, her second album for Elektra and fifth overall... Drawing on such influences as Earth, Wind & Fire, Minnie Riperton, Stevie Wonder, and the Emotions, Rushen has no problem holding an R&B lover's attention... Pizzazz might have received tongue-lashings from jazz critics, but from an R&B/pop perspective, it's among Rushen's most rewarding and essential albums."

Pizzazz features a hit single entitled "Haven't You Heard." The single soared to the top of R&B radio playlists and is among Rushen's biggest hits.
