As Joey's caretaker, Grandma Pigza serves as a major influence in his life for many years. His grandmother shares similar attention and hyperactivity issues, but Grandma's issues tend to surface in the form of verbal abuse. When Joey's mother abandoned him and left him in her mother's care, Grandma often berated him and showed little support or sympathy for his problems. At times, she is caring and funny, but more often than not, she is cruel and abusive, both mentally and physically.
