Tommy DeVito's Apology and Reconciliation with Pizzeria Owner
New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito resolves a public dispute between his agent and Coniglio's Old Fashioned Pizzeria in New Jersey. The pizzeria owner had canceled DeVito's appearance, claiming his agent had doubled the agreed-upon fee after the Giants' win over the Packers. DeVito made a free appearance at the pizzeria, apologized for the misunderstanding, and enjoyed pizza-making and old-fashioned sodas. He also agreed to return in January for autograph signings and to work behind the counter. DeVito's new marketing representative negotiated brand partnerships, including one with Dunkin' Donuts. The pizzeria owner expressed support for DeVito and apologized for the negative press.
