New parents, BEYONCE and JAY-Z shunned the 54th Grammy Awards this year to go out for a pizza at their favorite pizza place in Brooklyn.

Well, they deserve it. New parents are notoriously short on sleep, and if Beyonce and Jay-Z’s devotion to their destiny’s child, Blue Ivy Carter, are any indication, we’re guessing they’re staying up at night with their daughter themselves…

But Sunday night…the night of the Grammys…was a night the couple decided to take a break from parenting duties and go on a romantic pre-Valentine’s Day date together.

They left one-month-old Blue Ivy at home and made a coo-some two-some at their favorite pizzeria, Lucali, in the Carroll Gardens area of Brooklyn.

That meant that Jay-Z, who was up for an award with Kanye West for Best Rap Performance for “Otis” from their album, “Watch the Throne,” was an absent from the Grammy Awards.

Big deal. Bonding with wifey is more important. This guy knows which side his bread is buttered on.

Incidentally, co-awardee, Kanye West was absent, too. Wonder who he’d gone on a pre-Valentine’s Day date with.
