No, you would sound like an small kid if you counted sushi pieces using 個. I live in Tokyo and I go to a sushi bar almost once a week. Besides that, I'm a native speaker to begin with!! Counters in Japanese are never very simple.
~入り means containing ~ (~ is a number). You will sound much clearer if you include ~入り because you're putting more than one counters in a very short sentence. By the way, that word is read いり and not はいり if you were wondering.
