Pizitz was a major regional department store chain in Alabama, with its flagship store in downtown Birmingham.

At its peak it operated 12 other stores, mostly in the Birmingham area with several locations in Huntsville and other Alabama cities.

The chain was founded as the Louis Pizitz Dry Goods Co. in 1899 on the site of its flagship building in downtown Birmingham.

This became an issue when the McRae's chain was sold to Belk Department Stores of Charlotte, North Carolina in 2005.
