Like most food nouns, meatball is countable: one meatball, two meatballs. When referring to the dish in general, the plural form is standard ("We are having meatballs for dinner tonight"). The singular form is best used when referring to one specific piece, or when the word is used as a modifier ("meatball sub sandwich").
