Note my corrections to your question. You may also want to brush up on article usage.

As long as you really intend to ask if they ate pizza every week, then it's perfectly fine to use the simple past. One of the uses of the simple tense (past, present, and future) is for repeated or habitual actions.

Which verb are you referring: "did" or "eat".
