In the UK I'd say it's rare. Only a select few restaurants put pineapple slices in a burger, and they are mostly homegrown family-run businesses and, rarely, chains like Beefeater.
I'd love to try one. Here the standard quality burger is (bottom to top): bun, lettuce, tomato, meat, onion, bacon if any, pickled gherkin slices, sauce, cheese slice. If that sounds bland by comparison it's because this is England.
The fancy ones can have egg, hash brown, chilli peppers and/or mushrooms, but I've not yet seen beetroot in a burger
The juiciness of burgers & pineapples allow for better texture/mixture & flavour distribution/experience imho compared to pizzas that are usually relatively drier.
Same for various cuts of apples.
Grilled pineapple is preety good on any meat.
I haven’t tried pineapple on a burger, but I wouldn’t rule it out. I think Ray Kroc wanted to introduce something called the “Hula Burger” at McDonalds.

Condensing a rant I had on another comm with this question here: fruit belongs with meat. fullstop. Idk why we're still having this discussion when medieval peasants were able to figure it out in like the 12th century.
A friend of mine turned me on to pineapple and peanut butter on my burger. It is weirdly amazing.
I could see that, i really enjoy peanut butter and Vegemite together on a sandwich
Vegemite is one of my most proud acquired tastes. My parents picked up a jar of it when they were down under, and when I was over and saw it I said, “Oh good, you got Vegemite!”
They started going on about how they think it’s a joke that the locals play on foreigners. I showed them that if you spread it thin enough, you can start to enjoy it. Then you build up that enjoyment.
I love that shit.
I'll eat pineapple on pizza, but not on a burger.
I'll eat beetroot on a burger, but not on pizza.
Pineapple is the reason I don't order burgers with the lot.
Not a fan of it.
Yeah i hate it in cheese cake haha
This has only just occurred to me, and I haven't tried it yet, but I'll bet its really good on a hot dog.

Meh. I'd try it but I don't think I would especially enjoy it over any other burger. But I won't judge anyone who likes it.
I don’t think I can agree with all that on a burger, though bacon, cheese, and pineapple on a burger could definitely work.
Pineapple? Don’t insult the burger like that
Pineapple is a weak choice of fruit for savory-sweet combinations. Y'all need to learn about cranberry
Just so long as you wash it down with an avocado smoothie.
Did this once for some friends come over for a cook out. Everybody loved them.
They're pretty good, they definitely improve an otherwise pretty average burger. I've rarely had them on actual good burgers but on those occasions they were also good, but I think the trouble is that in that context it's kind of a distraction and just a bit too much added water weight if it's an otherwise nice hefty and generous burger. They definitely need to be cooked themselves a bit to caramelise them though otherwise not really worth bothering with.
Is it even a works burger without pineapple??????????
