Cutlet mania taking over local delis as Tommy DeVito gets set for primetime
America meets Tommy Cutlets on Monday night.
America meets Tommy DeVito, quarterback of the New York Football Giants, along with his parents and family and Jersey friends in the MetLife Stadium stands, along with his popular hand gesture should he throw a touchdown pass against the Packers.
The underdog needs a shot, Al Lombardi was saying, Cause a lot of kids get overlooked. He was one of em. Its a great opportunity. It sends a message to a lot of kids: Dont stop. Keep going.
Al is the owner of Lombardis, not far from where DeVito lives with his parents in Cedar Grove. And not far from Violante & Son, where Anthony Violante says from behind the counter: Im known for my cutlets. I cant say that Tommys mom gets em here. I cant speak to that. But its a very common question Ive gotten recently.
Tommy Cutletsmania indeed.
I cant say its increased my business, but its certainly generated a lot of interest in cutlets in general, Violante said. Do the DeVitos come here? Ive heard your cutlets are great, what separates your cutlets? Its a fairly common question the last few weeks.

Its extra thin, everything is cut to custom. I like to think that the quality of bird that I use, the way that theyre prepared. … We cut a lot of chicken, and its done every day daily fresh.
Across Pompton Avenue at Espositos, Sharon Cira reveals: Were about to make a sandwich in his name. We heard that he really loves the chicken cutlet sandwich.

— New York Post Sports (@nypostsports) December 11, 2023The Tommy DeVito Special: chicken cutlet, mozzarella, roasted peppers, prosciutto, balsamic vinegar.
DeVito stopped in on Saturday of his bye week at Lombardis, where a Proud to Be American sign on the front door greets you.
We have a feature after him now, a chicken cutlet vodka sauce pizza, waitress Karen Convery said. I had a customer that came in and said, Tommy apparently likes your chicken vodka sandwich, and Id like to order it. I said, OK, and the guy had it and I said to him, So whatd you think? And he said: Hes right. This is one of the best sandwiches Ive ever had. So now we have a chicken cutlet vodka sauce pizza.
When DeVIto threw a TD pass against the Patriots, Lombardis handed out 60 free DeVito burgers (mozzarella and vodka sauce) to delighted fans. Al Lombardi plans on audibling on Monday night. I think we might have the DeVito pizza for free at halftime, he said.
When you are the Jersey Guy quarterback of the New York Football Giants, you are the talk of your proud town, especially after leading Big Blue to back-to-back wins.

Charles Wenzelberg / New York PostAt the bar at Lu Nello Reataurant, Frank DiGiacomo and Anthony Pope light up at the mention of Tommy DeVito. Gustavo Guymaraes is the valet.
Its good to know we have a local hero playing for the Giants representing us, he said late last month. Its fun to brag about with the Jets fans because our third-string quarterback is better than Zach Wilson. Its so good to have a guy from Cedar Grove better than Zach Wilson.
DeVito, of course, is no longer the third-strong quarterback. Brian Daboll stayed with the hot hand after Tyrod Taylors ribs had healed.
Ive known Tommy since he was 6 or 7 years old, Chris Wernely said, so seeing a kid that I grew up with playing for my hometown team, starting quarterback, its awesome to see it starting to pay off for him cause he really does deserve it.
Wernely used to block for DeVito on the Cedar Grove Panthers.
Every Friday the football team would be invited over to the DeVitos, theyd have food for us, games for us to play, we would watch a little bit of film, stuff like that, and they were always trying to keep the team connected and build that sort of brotherhood, Wernely said. Every Friday from fifth grade to eighth grade.

Greg Polimeni is the owner at Rare The Steak House in Little Falls. DeVitos parents were there recently.
Theyre all Giant fans in Cedar Grove and theyre just proud that a Cedar Grove native is on the Giants, he said.
Ross Catanzarite of the Accent Group, a full-service construction company, knows DeVitos father, Tom, of DeVito Plumbing and Heating. Im blown away, Im blown away, Catanzarite said.
The Tommy DeVito Story is too good to be true. Inside a CVS on Pompton Avenue, Nilie Pajoohi smiles and says: Ive learned that he loves his mommy and daddy a lot, and they take good care of him.
America, meet Tommy Cutlets.
