My teenage Friday nights involved cruising with friends on a route through the Kingburger and Frisch's Big Boy, flirting with boys. McDonald's did not play into our social plan and wasn't the giant entity it is now. In our Ohio town, Big Macs weren't introduced until 1969, so the double burgers we enjoyed then were at Frisch's Big Boy,franchised in other states as Azar's and Bob's Big Boys. Their Big Boy sauce was their tartar sauce. McDonald's Big Mac sauce is essentially Thousand Island salad dressing. 
Flash forward forty or so years to this Big Boy Pizza recipe spotted in a Dayton Daily News article featuring Super Bowl party recipes. As I was making it, I remarked that this was either going to be truly disgusting or truly delicious. Since I am passing it on, you know the outcome... it tastes exactly like a Big Boy, or a Big Mac. Call it what you will, just try it.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use a pre-made pizza crust such as a Boboli. I have always used whole wheat crusts in a no-doubt futile effort to reduce the dietary damage. On the crust, layer these ingredients, in the order listed.
Spread 1/2 jar Frisch's (or your favorite) tartar sauce on the crust...this should be about a cup. Cover the sauce with 'hamburger dill' pickle slices. Top that with 1 lb lean ground beef, cooked and drained, then 1 bag (about 1/2 head) of finely shredded iceberg lettuce. Finish with 2 c. shredded mild cheddar cheese and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted.
Despite the fact that the Big Mac secret sauce is essentially thousand island dressing and Big Boy's is tartar sauce, you'd swear this pizza tastes just as much like a Big Mac as a Big Boy....go figure.
