The last thing you should do, in my opinion is pop into his office.
Especially after you call and say so. What will that accomplish? Will he write it with you standing there tapping your foot? Will he suddenly draft something and send it via email? And finally, assuming your implicit threat of showing up secures you a letter after all, could you imagine how positive that letter would be...
...unless he leads it of with, "" is the most persistent person I know...
Seriously, your best bet is to find another letter writer. Someone who is motivated to do it on time, perhaps someone who wants to write one for you. Maybe this professor wants to write one, but he's on vacation? or dealing with a particular issue? visiting him won't sreolve either of those kinds of situations.
If you need recommendations in the future, plan ahead by asking for more than you need by one or two.
