Tommy DeVito's Pizzeria Appearance: From Fee Dispute to Goodwill Gesture
New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito made a surprise appearance at Coniglio's Old Fashioned Pizzeria in New Jersey after a dispute over an appearance fee. The pizzeria initially advertised DeVito's appearance but canceled it due to a steep increase in the fee. DeVito's agent claimed no contract was signed, but the pizzeria produced evidence of an informal agreement. DeVito ultimately appeared at the pizzeria for no money, expressing the importance of setting things right. Both parties have since apologized, and DeVito's popularity continues to grow.
