However, we ordered a whole pizza and an extra slice with different toppings. It is odd that one slice was served as the opener, and the rest after the salad, no? It's not like these were different types of food here. My comment was not so much on the salad being served second, but rather some of the pizza being served pre-salad and the rest post-salad. -Jason Agreed, and in my family, when having a nice dinner, we often have the salad course second.

In my home, salad was always served after the pasta course but before the meats and other courses. So, a salad served later is not a sign of 'lesser dining". If you want to learn the difference between prosciutto and pancetta, I suggest you stop and visit Micucci's in Portland or The Cheese Iron in Scarborough and check out their deli counters.
