What We Offer
Pizazz offers a wide assortment of products to make cooking, eating and entertaining easier. We carry high-quality cookware, cutlery, gadgets, and everything in between for the home cook as well as the culinary expert. We also source hard to find foods or one of kind items.
Shopping isn’t all we offer. Pizazz is the place to come for free workshops, cooking demonstrations, cooking classes, private cooking parties and is a small events venue. With the addition of our state of the art kitchen, we are able to cater to the person that doesn’t have time to cook all the time, so we do! We now offer fresh, whole food selections for “take ‘n go”.
For that special day in your life, we also offer a premier bridal registry service.
How it Started
In 1985 three Great Falls women (Mary, Nancy and Pat) opened the first gourmet kitchen store in downtown Great Falls. They started in Times Square and stayed there until the early 90’s when they moved to the Liberty Building at 3rd and Central. In 2002, Mary, the last partner left owning it, decided it was time to retire after 17 years in retail and would sell Pizazz. She succeeded in her plan and turned the reins over to a new owner, Veronica Ronnau, on October 31st, 2002.
In 2007, Pizazz was ready to move and grow again. After an extensive renovation of a downtown building we moved into our current location. The new building doubled our selling space and still had room to add our dream kitchen. In 2013 Bella Cucina was born! Pizazz now houses a performance kitchen used for instructional classes, private parties, team building and a small events venue.
On July 31, 2019 Pizazz expanded into the previously owned business, Fox’s Jewelry. The new corner market was a logical extension of the amazing products already carried in the store, now they have a better home. The Corner Market has a Take-n-go deli, international and gourmet foods and spices, plus a line of oils and vinegars. We also have a nice selection of wines, ask us about our wine club. It’s a ‘green’ store, we’re doing our part to reduce the waste and plastic use.
After 30 years in business in downtown Great Falls, Pizazz has become an anchor store that is known for quality products and customer friendly service. It is a place with knowledgeable, professional and friendly staff that truly care about our customers, what they need and helping them find their passion in the kitchen.
Veronica is very excited about all the changes that have happened over the years, but is most excited about what is yet to come!
