According to an Instagram post from Coniglio&#39;s agent, Sean Stellato, increased the appearance fee after DeVito led the Giants to a comeback victory over the Packers on &#8220;Monday Night Football&#8221; last <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/week\/\"   title=\"week\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, after the story gained traction on social media, DeVito made an unpaid appearance at the pizzeria Tuesday afternoon, according to sports reporter Darren Rovell.<\/p>\n<p>Stellato argued that the pizzeria did not have a contract with DeVito, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/darrenrovell\/status\/1736584485594943641\">tell Rovell<\/a> that they &#8220;did not increase the price, because nothing was ever agreed.&#8221;  But Nino Coniglio, the pizzeria&#39;s owner, fired back in response to Rovell, saying: &#8220;We agreed in principle to the terms &#8211; two hours, 250 autographs and $10,000, and then the agent couldn&#39;t be contacted.
