If you\u2019ve recently dined in Payson, Arizona \u2014 or maybe even if you haven\u2019t \u2014 you\u2019ve probably heard of By the Bucket.<\/a> The local restaurant is known for its spaghetti, and particularly the vessel in which it’s served: a bucket.<\/p>\n

Now, By the Bucket is finally headed south to the Valley. Owner Bret daCosta (“They ran out of Ts when I was born”) says an Ahwatukee location is set to open within the month, at 1420 East Chandler Boulevard.<\/p>\n

The restaurant’s takeout-only concept is ideal for the COVID era, though the restaurant was founded in 2018. Raising a 7-year-old as a single father, daCosta says, “We didn\u2019t have much money, so I would buy spaghetti.”<\/p>\n

Sometimes, though, they\u2019d overbuy.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019d say, hey, if we could sell our leftover spaghetti, we could make buckets of money.”<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
