This may be a hot take but I'm willing to bet that if you built a burger with nothing but Pop's patty and bun and nothing else, it would still probably be an above average burger on this list.

In fact, the only thing that can ruin a Pop's burger, I find, is indeed the choice of ill-considered ingredients. As you can deduce from the lower rated Pop's burgers on this site.

In this specific case, however, not much is done incorrectly. I am forced to remove ½ a point because of the pickle but everything else is pretty much on point.
