It starts when you first bite into that pizza slice when your teeth chew the saliva come in and the pizza sucks it up like a sponge causing a chemical reaction then you swallow and vola you have your 1st part of digestion

It begins in the mouth because by putting the food in your mouth and chewing it up and breaking it down, you are helping the process of digestion begin
