Giants QB Tommy DeVito Embroiled in Bizarre New Jersey Pizzeria Drama
A popular pizzeria in New Jersey has accused New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito of price gouging them out of an already agreed-upon celebrity appearance, with the peeved Italian joint claiming DeVito abruptly changed his fee from $10,000 to $20,000 after tickets had already gone on sale.
DeVito and his agent, Sean Stellato, have ascended into stardom together since DeVito became the Giants’ starting quarterback, leaning on their Jersey and Italian roots to win over local fans despite DeVito’s play on the field being mediocre at best.
That newfound stardom took a hit on Sunday, however, when Nino Coniglio, owner of the pizzeria Coniglio’s, wrote on Instagram that his “small family-run business” couldn’t afford the $20,000 DeVito’s agent was demanding for an appearance on Tuesday.
