Reese Witherspoon gushes over a little New Zealand eatery online

American movie star Reese Witherspoon has given us down under a bit of a Kiwi shout out after she gave some love to a Kiwi cafe. 

The Hollywood superstar took to social media to celebrate "a very important day" - National Pizza Day.

To do so, she shared her top five favourite pizza places from around the world and in at number two was The Cow in Queenstown.

Reese posted an adorable photo of herself and her Wrinkle co-star Mindy enjoying a slice in full Disney costume.

She captioned it: "When we were filming A Wrinkle in Time, Mindy Kaling and I made it our mission to check out all the local eateries. The Cow Queenstown is the most precious little pizza spot in Queenstown. A must visit!"

"You are our all time favourite guest.. well, you and Lamb Lamb (tied). And we're extra chuffed to get a shout out from our favourite cultural commentator. Come back anytime!"
