Looks good!
Pickle pizza has become a thing in Canada lately. I haven’t tried it yet . It takes a while for some trends to cross the border.
What I enjoyed about the approach to this pickle pizza was knowing that while way too many joints just use pickles as an extra topping this pizza featured them. Sliced pickles, a garlic-pickle juice-mozz/ricotta cheese base.

It looks good as long as it’s hot. Once that cheese sets, I’d be gone.

Is that a thick layer of cheese? Or is there a bechamel / alfredo later?

Thick mozzarella. A Canadian interpretation of Chicago deep dish. Quite rare to find any deep dish in Toronto, ON or London, ON. This is one of 2 places offering a deep dish in London, ON and I think it’s the better of the 2. I don’t know of any Chicago-derived deep dish pizzas in Toronto right now.
There are at least 3 Detroit-style pizzerias in Toronto.
I like the taste and crispiness of Detroit-style, but the crust tears up the roof of my mouth. 
There is a deep dish pizza place in Hamilton, ON, which has managed to stay in business, which I have not tried.

We ate my most recent deluxe pizza from Byron before I took a photo.
Here is the small bacon, ham and pineapple from Byron Pizza in London, Ontario yesterday.
A pepperoni mushroom slice and an olive, bacon and mushroom slice from Gino’s Pizza, a Canadian chain with over 100 locations.
This is from the Gino’s Pizza inside Cherryhill Village Mall at 301 Oxford St W. in London, Ontario.
2 slices came to a little under $11 after tax.
Pretty good for older school Ontario pizza. Crispy crust. A bit light on the tomato sauce and generous with the mozzarella.

My frozen Stefano pepperoni pizza
Good pepperoni and sauce for a frozen pizza from the regular grocery store. Crust is a little more cracker like at the edge than I prefer, but slightly doughy in a good way under the sauce and cheese.
Mac’s All Dressed, pepperoni, mushrooms and green pepper. $32 CAD, excellent.
On Dovercourt North of Bloor in Toronto. Has tables and chairs, and a liquor license.
I must speak out here.
It’s a noble attempt but fundamentally flawed.
The sauce need to go ON TOP.
whew. I needed to get that off my chest. Thanks.
When I lived in Vancouver, BC I’d have to drive over the border to Bellingham, WA to get anything close.

Sadly, as far as I know, Toronto doesn’t even have any places attempting a Chicago deep dish right now. The one I posted from, above, is in London, ON, halfway between Toronto and Detroit.
There is a place in Hamilton, Ontario, which has been around for years. I haven’t stopped by to try it yet. Maybe this year.

The cheese pull and construction on that look appropriate.
I’ll allow it.
