If a quote is in the middle of a sentence do you still capitalize the first letter after the first quotation mark?

No, they are always used before.
Examples:
- Beginning Quotation: "Tonight, we will eat Pizza," I said.
- Ending Quotation: I said, "Tonight, we will eat pizza."
- Broken Quotation: "Tonight," I said, "we will eat pizza."
See how in each sentence, the comma was always before the quotation marks?
