I'm glad someone else noticed it.

During the height of the first pandemic wave in Canada, I literally couldn't find Bucatini anywhere, specifically De Cecco which IMO is superior to some other brands where I live. I went to dozens of supermarkets and they had every variant of pasta except Bucatini and I really couldn't understand what the heck was going on.

Looks like it's had pretty good availability on amazon.ca, but OOS for the last month:

but like 5x the price on .com

I just bought some for pickup at target.com. Their Good & Gather brand Bucatini [1] is available in a couple of stores in the East Bay Area (Alameda, Albany). I hope you can find some locally.

De Cecco is an expensive brand in Italy. When I'm abroad I don't buy anything but. Barilla will do if De Cecco is missing though.
