I used to get this and it had a hole in the pasta. Why cant i find it like that anymore?

You are probably thinking of "Pastina" (also pastine or pastini). Sometimes those are tiny tubes. Acini de pepe tend to be more like little bb's qithout holes. Bon appetit

Is this Acini pasta small in size or large?

Cook thin spaghetti then cut small pieces off the length of the diameter and you'd have the size of the cooked Acini Di Pepe.
