PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Celebrity Chrissy Teigen was in Pittsburgh this week and gave a shout-out to a local pizza spot.

Teigen said Thursday that she was in the city for "a day of work," but didn't elaborate.

She also tweeted a shout-out for Driftwood Oven in Lower Lawrenceville, although she initially mistakenly called the restaurant "Driftwood Kitchen."

"I got about a 15 minute heads up from her handler ... She told me that eight people were coming in, didn't mention Chrissy at first, but then she said, 'Chrissy Teigen is coming,' and I said, 'OK, great, we're happy to have you.' So Chrissy and her entourage came in. Her bodyguard was very friendly, very nice, did a good sweep of the place. Chrissy herself was very, very pleasant. I know she's a big foodie, so she was very complimentary of our sourdough pizza and our sourdough bread. It was a lovely evening," Justin Vetter, of Driftwood Oven, said.

Teigen is a co-host on Paramount Network's "Lip Sync Battle" and has published two cookbooks.
