drop by

phraseB2Not compared — the two pools are counted one word at a time, so a phrase has no score

To drop by is to make a short casual visit without arranging it. Drop by for a cup of tea, drop by later, feel free to drop by.

The lack of arrangement is the whole point, which is what separates it from calling round by appointment. It is friendly and informal, and it implies you will not stay long.
