I helped build a similar one one that traveled around my friend group for a bit and now does 3 days a week at the local brewery. Ours stays under 150°F… After a 10 hour day of continuous use in 90°temps.
the exterior is always comfortable to the touch- some times i climb up on top of it and sit and watch the crowd/ music/ call out orders for the guys if its busy.
They’re usually that layer of bricks, a layer of insulation, then like 6-8" of cement. The whole point is to keep the heat reflecting on the inside.
If the one you have access to is reaching more than 200°F, it means the interior has cracked somewhere, and it shouldn’t be used until repaired. Your risking the insulation catching, or burned through it already, contaminating the pizzas, and rhe exterior concrete layer being damaged.
The chimey is hot, but the outside of the oven is usually well insulated with e.g. rockwool.
No they’re hot enough to melt tarps.
It’s 40 - 80 °C depending on how well it’s inulated.
Not in my experience.

Yeah that doesn’t sound right man, if that much heat is escaping then there’s something wrong.
Nah it’s just getting hot because it’s like 800 degrees man.
Even at 1000 degrees a properly insulated pizza oven shouldn’t be getting much north of 140 degrees.
But you just said it was a thousand degrees.
Oh honey.
