Giants' Tommy DeVito makes peace, visits pizzeria solo after fee dispute

12:01 20.12.2023

In a heartwarming turn of events, New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito and Nino Coniglio, the owner of Coniglio's Old Fashioned pizzeria in Morristown, New Jersey, have resolved their feud over a canceled autograph signing. The viral feud began when Coniglio accused DeVito's agent, Sean Stellato, of doubling the previously agreed-upon appearance fee from $10,000 to $20,000. However, DeVito and his new marketing team met with Coniglio on Tuesday to find a charitable solution and mend fences.

During their meeting, DeVito and Coniglio enjoyed a meal together, indulging in pizzas, chicken parm, and sodas mixed from an antique machine. The sit-down meeting, witnessed by The Post, resulted in a charitable agreement that pleased both parties. DeVito's new marketing representative, Maxx Lepselter, announced that DeVito will return to Coniglio's pizzeria in January to spend 30 minutes working behind the counter and signing 100 autographs.

In a show of goodwill, Coniglio's pledged to make 100 sandwiches and donate 100% of the proceeds from sales during DeVito's visit to charity. The agreement was a relief to both DeVito and Coniglio, who expressed their desire to rectify the situation and move forward. DeVito, who even held Coniglio's 11-month-old daughter Penny during their meeting, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to set things right and enjoy the delicious pizza.

Coniglio, initially skeptical of DeVito's character, was won over by the quarterback's sincerity and apology. He described DeVito as a "stand-up guy" and expressed his support for him. However, Coniglio did not feel the same about Stellato, whom he accused of ambushing him by making overtures on his behalf without direct communication.

Stellato, who gained attention for his flamboyant attire at recent games, including a 1950s-style mafia outfit and an Italian Sports Hall of Fame jacket, expressed regret over the misunderstanding. He claimed that negotiations were still ongoing and that he never intended to cause any harm or engage in unethical behavior.

Despite the controversy, DeVito remains focused on his role as the Giants' starting quarterback. As a folk hero in the tri-state area, he has garnered support from fans and the community. DeVito's record stands at 3-2 as a starter, and the team's overall record is 5-9.

This heartwarming resolution between DeVito and Coniglio highlights the power of communication and understanding. Both parties have put the feud behind them and are looking forward to supporting charity and creating positive experiences for their fans.
